Hi,
I have the tags all set up - or have I missed something???
when I enter in a new tag in the create download form in front end, JD saves the tags ok and are listed in tags...
but when I do a search for the tags they dont show and the system shows error...
than if I open the download in the back end, then save it, the tags are searchable???
how can I get the tags saved and then working in the frontend please
thanks

Hi
I have not been able to reproduce this yet.Are you using XAMPP or  WAMP server?Please advise which version of jD
If the tag is listed in the Tags component then all should be OK
What type of tag are you using ie the Tag setup

Hi Colin,
not sure if using xampp or wamp, have emailed to find out.
I am using 3.2.65
I have added photos,,, the problem is actually,
1) create and save tags in create/edit jdownload front end
2) search for newtag and it shows up in search results...
3) when click on the newtag in search results the following error shows up...
where as if I open and the save & close the download in the backend, it will show
image 4) - working correctly...
I have tried in the front end using reg user, and super user, no difference....

Hi
I have now been able to reproduce the problem :( So will log an error
Basically if a Tag is added in front end to a Download then that Download it is not included in the list generated by the Tags menu item untill either:  the Download is saved in the backend, or another Download has the tag added in the backend.Tags added to a Download in the Backend appear in the tag list OK.The tag does appear in the Download view.

If one adds the tag to several Downloads in the front end they all appear in the jD view but not in a tag list.  However if one subsequently adds the tag to a Download in the backend then all the 'missing' Downloads are now included in the tag list.
